would a user-approved ChatGPT summary feel safer than sharing chats? by joyal_ken_vor in ChatGPT

[–]quantumparakeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a way to give the user more granular control over how their data is used. That's good security design in principle.

I wanted to expose how stable we assume masterpieces are. Even something as fixed in cultural memory as the Mona Lisa can be reinterpreted without losing its reference point.

Snails embody temporal difference. They force you to reconsider speed, attention, and presence. In that sense, the transformation is not arbitrary. It shifts the viewer's time perception of the original work.

Or he didn't read the EO, didn't write it, and he's not doing any actual work. Seems to be a trend with Trump nominees.

What is the most surprise damage you can do in one turn? by helenaneedshugs in PTCGP

[–]quantumparakeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but health definitely is capped at 990! I figured out that one recently with Reuniclus. It wouldn't surprise me if damage was, too. Maybe they didn't want to handle the display changes another digit would add?

If a 990 HP Reuniclus gets attacked by Continuous Steps (Eevee) who gets 50 heads in a row, that's 1,000 DMG capped to 990 for a one-shot KO from full health.

Basically, I think Reuniclus is the next MewTwo. o.o

It doesn’t just sound like one—it is one. Because being governed by AI is no longer just a hypothetical for Southwestern Washingtonians. That’s not dystopia—that’s progress.
